Why not? I paid more for the VLK keys I have.. Some things, just
should be done legally. I wouldn't screw around with a "cracked" copy of
any security related program; You can't trust it. No such thing as 100%
clean crack, either. In order to crack the program, you are altering the
way in which it works. Either disabling an api call entirely, or
redirecting it someplace else. Without extensive time studying the file,
you can't be sure the patching your doing hasn't broke something. And if
you are cracking the executable, do remember, they can change at any time
as the vendor makes changes. Each revision would render your crack
worthless.

If your security is important to you, why would you risk running modified
copies of the software? You don't know who's been in the file before you
got your hands on it. Say for example, you apply some crack you
downloaded, it seems to work. What the crack didn't show on screen was it
patching the database files so the program can't scan for certain things
anymore. Or perhaps, it not only cracked the software, but disabled it's
ability to actually scan anything; leading you into a false sense of
security. You think it's running, and it's not.
